Description John Westervelt 2023-07-19 09:40:21 UTC
Google Earth flatpak, on both Aeon and TW, is not responsive when I click on the desktop icon.

Supporting Info: This app works perfectly on Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora.

From discussing this in Telegram, this looks to be SELinux again, like for Proton and others.

So, can you confirm that doing (in a terminal):

sudo setsebool -P selinuxuser_execmod 1
sudo setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1

Makes it work?

If yes, it's indeed the SELinux policy. This has been discussed already multiple times (e.g., https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1206292), and as far as I have understood the policy is not going to change, not for now at least.

I agree that we very much want to find a solution to this for Aeon, but it's not necessarily easy (e.g., all the solutions that I can think of are either super-ugly hacks or require doing something like forking the policy, which would need to be considered carefully...).

So, for now, those two commands above are the best way forward (oh, and "they're persistent", as in, you run them once, and Google Earth will just start to work and will continue to so, even across reboots, etc)
